Plasticity 3
Plasticity 3 : The property possessed by some solids, particularly clays and clay slurries, of changing shape or flowing under applied stress without developing shear planes or fractures. Such bodies have yield points, and stress must be applied before movement begins. Beyond the yield point, the rate of movement is proportional to the stress applied, but ceases when the stress is removed. See Fluid. (Bull D11)
